Roots of my raising

by CMCook | Jun 26, 2019 | authentic self, Family, grateful, home

I was on my way to work early this morning, listing to old country music station. A song came on that I haven't heard in years. It was "The roots of my raising" by Merle Haggard from 1976. In 1976, I was graduating from high school and listening to the Eagles,...

My first blog on my new website! I loved my old website, it served me well. But, sometimes you have to shake things up a bit. Bring in some new energy, clear away stagnant sentiments. Start anew. I love my website team at Greenfox Marketing. Tanner, Amy and Melissa...

Ebb and Flow

by CMCook | Sep 7, 2018 | authentic self, Family, farm life, fat cow studio, grateful, home, In the studio, Inspiration, life, ranch living

There is an ebb and flow to life. Highs and lows. Some days we are just so grateful for everything, some days, not so much. During times of the lows, it is easy to stay down, to just give in to the feeling of sadness, loneliness, grief, resentment and even anger. All...

It looks like rain.

by CMCook | Jul 30, 2018 | authentic self, Family, farm life, fat cow studio, grateful, In the studio, Inspiration, life, ranch living

It looks like rain. Something we haven't seen in our small town in months. My husband told me the old rancher guys would say, while drinking their coffee at the local gas station/diner, "We are one day closer to rain!" We will welcome the relief from the blistering...

Sixty

My 60th birthday is coming up rapidly. I remember when my grandmother turned 60. I thought she was so old! Even though she was a very vibrant red head with red lipstick and sassy attitude. I t seems like I just turned around, and I am hitting 60. I think it is the...

A noisy world

by CMCook | Sep 28, 2017 | authentic self, Family, farm life, fat cow studio, grateful, home, In the studio, Inspiration, life, ranch living

Too much. It has been a busy, noisy world lately. Everything is vying for attention. My iPhone buzzes me with breaking news, texts and messages are constantly pinging. Social media is beginning to be a battle field of...

A fresh taste

My mood a few days back. I was getting bombarded with all kinds of things. Things that may seem small to some, more than they could have handled to others. I could not get my bearings set, a good nights sleep or keep my heart from racing. We all get bad news, sad...

It is in the details.

by CMCook | Apr 12, 2017 | authentic self, Family, farm life, grateful, life

Details, details, details. It is easier to see the big picture. Only glancing momentarily, letting it skim your thoughts and moving on. It is like looking out an airplane window. You can see the patchwork fields, big cities and flowing rivers....

Pondering and reflections

by CMCook | Jan 12, 2017 | authentic self, Family, farm life, fat cow studio, grateful, home, In the studio, ranch living

Happy New Year everyone! I took the past holiday season to think about what I wanted my life to look like. Where I wanted to go, what I wanted to create and how I wanted to lead my life. I have to do my own soul searching, I have to make myself become quiet, I have to...
